Because the ribbon blew a hole in the hull first, it didn't completely destroy the ship. The shuttle would blow up after 1 hit, but the question is why doesn't he fly a ship in front of it then just get out in an EVA suit?
For the same reason Zod didn't use the terraforming machine on Mars or another planet in the solar system instead of Earth in Man of Steel. It would make too much sense.
